Continued from yesterday. CHAPTER 2 You were confused, did that man just call Ai his brother? As you try to piece everything together, Ai snaps at the man. "No! I'm not going back with you! I refuse!" The man who you presume to be his brother looked disappointed. "Maki, our father died a few months back, I'm the head of the house now. You can come home." Ai still seemed visibly upset over these events. She turns her head away trying to hide her depressed face. "Just let me think all this out." Ai's brother agrees and leaves when she closes the door. You didn't know what to say. The two of you just looked at each other for several minutes. You could tell she was still visibly distraught over what just happened. You start thinking to yourself "Why did he call Ai his brother? Why did he have a different name? What's wrong with her family?" You knew she didn't like to talk about her family or past so you never brought up the subject, but what just happened made you all the more curious. After a very long awkward few minutes, Ai breaks the silence. "I guess I owe you an explanation Flood...." You were curious but you didn't want to pry into something she might not want to talk about. [_] - "So what just happened, what's with your past?" [_] - "It's okay Ai, you don't need to tell me if you don't want to."

Ask her if she has girl scout cookies if she doesn't her face will meet the door.

We're done already?

[X] - Have dinner with Ai. You decide to have dinner with Ai. You two walk home together and you enter her house. She lived alone, you didn't know what to make of it since you were both seniors in high School, but this was how it was even when you met her back in Middle School. You seat yourself at the table and she tells you to just relax while she makes dinner. You quietly wait while she prepares everything. While you two eat, you begin to continue talking again. You knew what topics to avoid, you knew she used to live in japan before moving to Hawaii now, but every time you tried to bring up her family she tried to dodge the subject so you avoided that topic. As you finished up dinner, you two help each other clean up and wash dishes. Right before the two of you finish however there was a ring from the doorbell. AI moves to answer the door, but when she opens it she freezes in her stance. There was a slightly taller man looking at her, he was Asian just like here they almost had the same facial features. From the look on Ai's face she was knew who he was, and it's confirmed when she stutters "You're...you're...." The man hugs Ai with a sad/happy look on his face. "I finally found you Maki, [i]brother[/i]." End of Chapter 1. Chapter 2 Tomorrow. Route progress: Vikki: +2 Ai: +2 Miya: +2

[X] - Spend time with Ai. "Sure Ai, I'd love too." You were almost jumping out of your chair to spend time with her. "THANKS FLOOD! YOU'RE THE BEST! :3!!!!" You both sign off, and you decide to get some sleep. You think about your big day with Ai. The two of you meet up at 11 outside the mall. You walk around the department stores for a bit, looking around. You get some Manga from the bookstore, Ai gets a new controller since her old one was falling apart last night playing Halo with you. After some lunch at the food court you make your way to the Theater to see a movie. You decide on some romance movie since the rest of them all starred terrible actors. You cry your heart out over love story where the MC seemed to have lost his SO and finds her after going on a 10 year journey in search of her. After the movie you spend more time walking around the city. Sitting in the park, watching the people walk by. It was around 4:30, and both of you were walking home together. Ai looks at you when you reach the part where you two would normally split to go home. "Flood, would you look to have dinner with me?" You decide for a moment, you wanted to have dinner with Ai, but you kind of sneaked out on your sister. You would have to call her and tell her to make her own plans. [_] - Continue date with Ai. [_] - Go home and see your sister.

[X] - Bail on Miya, go with your sister. Once again the other option won, but it was after the time limit and I was already typing up the option that won inside the time limit. You gotta be quicker guys. "Sure Vikki, I'll go with you." Your sister suddenly lights up with a huge smile. She runs to her room and happy and jittery. You have to unfortunately bail on Miya though. You two exchanged numbers during your small talk. You whip out your phone and text her "Sorry Miya, something came up. Will make it up to you, I promise." You text a text back, she's disappointed but understands you're busy. You go back to your room and call it a day, it's 10:30 and you're gonna be spending the day with Vikki tomorrow. You two get to the studio early in the morning the next day. You wait behind the camera men setting up shop while your sister is in the dressing room. You still have a hard time believing she's a model. The shoot starts and your sister is doing Limited Edition swim wear. You immediately freeze in your position while watching. You find yourself in total awe at your sisters appearance. You don't know what to say. She comes over to you when the shooting finally ends after about an hour. "So what did you think Flood?" You turn your head due to the fact you obviously knew you were red. "You looked real great, I'm impressed." She takes the compliment and the two of you go home for the day. After dinner you go to your room and play some Halo. You get invitation from your friend Ai, it's a rarity when she's online. You see her at school and you've known her for about five years, you two are the best of friends. So obviously you join her party. "HEY FLOOD! HOW ARE YOUUUUU???" She seemed very excited, you two don't hang out as much after school since she has a animation club at the school to attend. After some friendly small talk and owning scrubs in Lone Wolves, it's about 1:00 AM. You're about to get off but she stops you right away. "Flood, do you want to hang out tomorrow? Go to a movie, and do some shopping?" You really want to see your best friend since the two of you haven't spent time together in a while. You contemplate. [_] - Spend time with Ai, you haven't spent time with her for a while. [_] - Chill tomorrow, enjoy a free Sunday alone.

[X] - Go to your sisters room. See if something is wrong. You go upstairs and knock on your sisters door. "Hey Vikki, is everything okay?" She opens the door and instead asks you a question. "Is that girl gone?" you tell her yes, but then scold her for acting so hostile before and during dinner. She gets angry "FLOOD YOU IDIOT!" and slaps you across the face. She seemed very upset over the whole ordeal, and you have no idea why. "What's wrong Vikki?! This isn't like you!" She almost snaps to attention at that comment. She gets teary eyed and apologizes. You two get over it and hug each other. Her mood seems much brighter now. You sit down in the living room and both of you talk about your day. She seems very happy now, just like her usual self every other day. "Oh yeah bro, I'm doing a special shooting tomorrow! They said I could bring anyone I want. Would you like to come?" It's a rarity that you get to see your sister work, but you remember about your plans with Miya. You don't know what to do. [_] - Bail on Miya, go with your sister. [_] - Bail on your sister, go with Miya.

[X] - Call your sister that dinner is ready. The other option had more votes but they were posted after the time limit was up. "VIKKI DINNER IS READY!" you yell outside the staircase before sitting down with Miya to eat your dinner. After about five minutes she does come down, and silently sits in her seat and begins eating. The table was really quiet and tense, you could feel the bad air around the three of you. Any attempt you made to lighten the mood ended by your sister immediately. After dinner your sister goes straight back to your room. You clean up while have some more small talk with Miya before she decides to leave. "Um, Flood. Would you....like to...have lunch with me tomorrow?" she asks very shyly. You contemplate for a moment before agreeing. "Sure Miya, I'm not busy at all since there's no school tomorrow." She looked very happy about it, you then remembered that despite the tense dinner she looked at you quite a lot. You tried not to admit it, but you only knew Miya for a short time and you wanted to spend more time with her. After finally bidding farewell, she leaves and you go back to the living room. However, you remember that your sister wasn't very happy today and which is opposite from her usual mood even after a tough day of work. You wonder what's wrong.... [_] - Go to your sisters room, see if something's wrong. [_] - Go to your room for the night, play some games.

[X] - Invite her over for dinner. Talk while you cook. "Hey Miya, would you like to come over for dinner?" you ask her politely. She turns red and hides her head and contemplates for a moment. "S-sure." and the two of you go inside. As you cook you two chat some more. She asks about your parents being gone, and your sister being a model. You're just about finished, all you gotta do is put the food in the oven and wait. Just as you finish up, the door opens and you hear a familiar voice. "I'M HOME BRO!!" says your sister, Vickki. She walks into the kitchen/dining room and sees you and Miya. She instantly loses her up beat happy attitude she has when she greeted you. After exchanging greetings you could tell your sister was rather hostile of Miya, she goes up to her room without even giving any warning of doing so. You and Miya decide to chat some more, but you could instantly tell your sister was upset by Miya's appearance. The oven beeps and you take it out, you get all the plates and utensils ready, and begin to put them on the table. It was exactly 6:30, dinner is always at 6:30 on the dot and your sister knows this, but she still hasn't showed up. You decide what to do next. [_] - Call to your sister that dinner is ready. [_] - Go upstairs to her room, see if anything is wrong.

Okay well the first option has been picked. All future voting needs to be through replies to the most recent part of the story now. [X] - Answer the door and greet her. You decide to answer the door and great the girl. "Hello, how may I help you?" You could tell right away that the girl was very shy. She turns her head away while it gets red. "U-um, h-hello...Me and...my m-mother are new here. I'd just l-l-like to introduce myself. I'm M-Miya. We're next door n-neighbors now." You knew old man Bill finally had enough of the youngsters and decided to move to Florida a few months back, but you weren't expecting people to move in so suddenly. "Well Miya, I hope we can get along just fine." You decide to have some small talk with Miya. She was incredibly shy, but you two seemed to have the same interests. She posted on Forums, played video games, even watched Sci-Fi movies. Minutes passed and you suddenly checked the time on your watch and found that it's 5:30. Your sister was late from Modeling, but you had to start on Dinner for the two of you anyways. You look back at Miya and a thought just occurred to you. Maybe you should be polite and invite her over for dinner. [_] - Invite her over to dinner, talk while you cook. [_] - Bid her goodbye for the day, and start on dinner for just you and your sister.

Make this interesting OP.
